Added new parser markers 'et' and 'et#' which do not recode string

objects but instead assume that they use the requested encoding.
This is needed on Windows to enable opening files by passing in
Unicode file names.

Correct two floating-point representations printed by the interpreter in

This patch originated from an idea by Martin v. Loewis who submitted a
...
patch for sharing single character Unicode objects.
Martin's patch had to be reworked in a number of ways to take Unicode
resizing into consideration as well. Here's what the updated patch
implements:
* Single character Unicode strings in the Latin-1 range are shared
(not only ASCII chars as in Martin's original patch).
* The ASCII and Latin-1 codecs make use of this optimization,
providing a noticable speedup for single character strings. Most
Unicode methods can use the optimization as well (by virtue
of using PyUnicode_FromUnicode()).
* Some code cleanup was done (replacing memcpy with Py_UNICODE_COPY)
* The PyUnicode_Resize() can now also handle the case of resizing
unicode_empty which previously resulted in an error.
* Modified the internal API _PyUnicode_Resize() and
the public PyUnicode_Resize() API to handle references to
shared objects correctly. The _PyUnicode_Resize() signature
changed due to this.
* Callers of PyUnicode_FromUnicode() may now only modify the Unicode
object contents of the returned object in case they called the API
with NULL as content template.
Note that even though this patch passes the regression tests, there
may still be subtle bugs in the sharing code.

Update publish-to-SourceForge scripts to automatically determine if the

Implement, test and document "key in dict" and "key not in dict".
...
I know some people don't like this -- if it's really controversial,
I'll take it out again. (If it's only Alex Martelli who doesn't like
it, that doesn't count as "real controversial" though. :-)
That's why this is a separate checkin from the iterators stuff I'm
about to check in next.

1aec3a16f3
Add versioning notes: many of the signatures changed to allow the time

used to be omitted (meaning use the current time) as of Python 2.1.
Users who need cross-version portability need to know things like this.

Added support for optional explanation parameter to the \versionadded

Based on a comment by Konrad Hinsen on python-list:
...
Change "EOF" to "end-of-file", on the premise that it is easier for

This does not attempt to explain "file or device attached to standard

Lots of small changes to make this work with the Python DOM bindings
...
(minidom in particular); it was using PyDOM which is now obsolete.

New API PyErr_Display, just for displaying errors, called by excepthook.
Uncaught exceptions now call sys.excepthook; if that fails, we fall back
to calling PyErr_Display directly.
Also comes with sys.__excepthook__ and sys.__displayhook__.

Job.build_html(): When formatting HTML into more than one HTML page, and

(where I'm an experert for), also I've started some stuff
for the data_files and scripts option.
Should I continue in this way? Would others like to jump in?
